Is there any way to keep it from escaping '>' (greater than) in a string?

The ‘>’ in the “Usage” string is being converted to the HTML escape code (&\gt;).

import sys
import json
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
    print 'Usage: jsonminify.py infile > outfile'
else:
    fname = sys.argv[1]
    with open(fname,'r') as f:
        data = json.load(f)
        print json.dumps(data)
